And I’ll preface with the fact TLOU 2 is my favorite of any media of all time. Followed by pt 1 lol. So ofc I’ve played through many many times. Always taking any excuse.

But idk, doing a grounded or survivor or whatever the max is, playthrough of chronological.. And like yeah I get it’s supposed to “realistic” and incredibly challenging. But come on man, it’s still a video game at the end of the day. Like what’s the point of having all these weapons, guns, etc if literally all you can ever use is your switchblade and bottles/bricks??

Its essentially just turns into a hardcore stealth game. Constantly having to restart encounters because someone saw you choking someone and you’re dead in a second lol Idk how these people do it on this difficulty with permadeath. Absolutely insane. All this incredible combat, depth and nuance. But you hardly experience any of it.

I just wish maybe there was a little more leniency with resources/ammo. To make a little more fun and enjoyable. Too much of a gap between the higher difficulties. And yes I know there’s custom difficulty options.. But obviously it’s not technically the same and doesn’t count for anything.

Am I just being a bxtch here??

Not yet including promoted listing fee. Idk what made me really notice this time.. Maybe because I offered free shipping on this item, but that stings a bit lol

Actually now making me consider implementing the listing requirements to get the Top Rated FVF discount. Just takes the excitement of making a good sale right out the window.

I got the email this morning. Honestly a little to my surprise. As I’ve only been selling for 6 months. And have had my share of.. hiccups so to speak lol

So far the email did note some discounts on final value fees, which I’m pretty stoked about that. Screenshot in the comments.

So Sam’s Club membership is in my wife’s name. And has only ever had her cards on file for payment methods. Never have used my bank card at Sam’s Club ever.

A little while ago, I open my bank account and see a $50 charge from Sam’s Club. I was like wtf?? Thinking I was compromised somehow. But turns out I guess all my wife’s cards on file failed for membership payment. And so they were then somehow able to charge MY bank card?? Which as I mentioned has never been used or affiliated with Samsung Club at all ever lol

The only possible way I could see is having access to the bank account my wife’s card is attached to. Which is technically a “joint account” between us.. And were then able to get to my account/debit card and charge me lol For her membership. Is that not insane??

Tried getting through to customer service. But that was obviously a nightmare. And wasn’t really getting anywhere, mostly for the fact it technically is my wife’s account and not mine. Isn’t that ironic lol.. Unfortunately my wife was unavailable to handle it as there was just a lot going on at that time. So a couple days went by and just forgot about it. Was like 6 months ago maybe. But recently remembered and got infuriated all over again.

Anyone else ever have happen or hear about something like this??

Edit: Figured out the issue. I needed to use my MICR number, not the “account number”. After restarting the process with that, the micro deposits showed up the very next morning. Except after confirming, and eBay saying “Thanks your verified and all good to go!”.. My account in fact is NOT good to go. Everything is still on hold with just a message saying “your account is being verified”. Like wtf??? I swear they find literally any opportunity to hold your $ longer.

Basically, I’ve been using my debit card as my only on file payment method this entire time just fine. Already been verified etc.

They basically tricked me into adding a bank account by telling me I was pre-approved for seller capital. Funds are a little tight for us right now, why I decided to check out this offer lol.

But in order to accept the offer I had to add a bank account, not my debit card. Which I did, or thought I did. Next thing I know after accepting the pre-approved offer, I was actually not approved lol and was denied. BUT, the bank account was still technically added to eBay. Which triggers them putting payouts on hold and verifying this bank account, that I never needed on here in the first place lol

Been over a week now. Talked to customer service, all these things. It wouldn’t let me use the login method. Micro deposits never came. I was finally able to re-add the account info today.. and I guess now stuck waiting for more micro deposits to may or may not show up..

Was reading about some others having issues with Credit Unions and eBay verification. Crazy to me that once you add the secondary bank account, you’re stuck. Try to delete it they force you to add a different one. Even though debit card works fine. I really really don’t want to start some new random bank account just to get my $ from eBay, just to delete it and remove it after the fact. So gd stupid.

Have had my shop about 6 months now, and have done quite well. But never sold anything more than a couple hundred dollars.

Long story short, came into a piece a jewelry (no it’s not stolen or anything like that) And turns out it’s a very nice, very fancy, VERY expensive piece of jewelry. I’ll say over $5k under $20k. And no it’s not a fake.

And so I know the very basics. Like ensure signature upon delivery. Not USPS or FedEx. Insurance, etc. But is there anything else? I def need to sell it because need the $. And let’s be real I also want the $ too lol. But don’t feel like getting ripped off by a pawn shop. I don’t really know a person I trust with that kind of disposable liquid. So idk kind of feels like my eBay shop is the best option.

But is there like the risk of the buyer idk trying to swap it out and claim an INAD return or something? Or just straight send back an empty box lol I have no returns ofc.. But idk just want to as much due diligence as possible yk.

Why are you doing this us?? Why did you reveal so gd early that it’s probably gonna be over 2 years before we hear another peep from you?

I really thought today was gonna be it.. Like I really did. Why tf does Santa Monica reveal a new ip with a 20 minute trailer. But we get one cinematic for the first new ip in what idk how long now.

I mean you guys can’t tell us ANYTHING? Not even a, “More updates to come in (general timeframe)”. We don’t even technically have a release year as it stands. Sure people say 2027, but that’s just speculation. In fact everything is just speculation because we know nothing lol Other than the generic premise and who the main character is. Honestly at this point I would’ve rather no reveal in ‘24 and just stayed in the dark until we were a little closer to a light in the tunnel.

Just tell us something ffs. Please and thank you ofc.

All of these “(New game launching) PS5 Pro Enhancements Detailed” blog posts are starting to sound exactly the same. Like literally copy/paste level lol From RE Requiem to now with 007.

“Blah blah..More detail..blah blah..cleaner image..blah blah..more stable in motion..” And then ofc the quote from the studio being like, “The best part of PSSR 2 is how little was required to implement the upgraded PSSR” Oh lol you don’t say..

Like I get it to an extent, they need to promote the Pro/new PSSR, but at least have some more game specific enhancements! Was a complete waste of time reading that lol

Granted it’s only been maybe 5-6ish attempts total. Still feels like I’m underperforming.

I will say though the “one more run” addiction is significantly stronger here than with Returnal. After dying in Returnal I was pretty much done with it til next time lol
